Piazza Pretoria

April 4, 2018 By Justin Miller

This square, known as the square of Shame, hosts a massive fountain that is a focal point for nude statues of various figures and creatures. The large fountain is considered to represent the corruptness throughout Palermo. The square itself is an impressive display of urban planning as the space is shaped and defined through the walls of two churches and the town hall. I particularly liked the layering of the fountain with its various levels and tiers and its clear purpose as a space to be entered by viewers.
